REVIEW – Medical Emergency Management Kit PART 1


2 REVIEW   Medical Emergency Management Kit PART 1MEDICAL EMERGENCY FIELD MANAGEMENT KIT

SIZE 6×9

WEIGHT Less than ½ pound (7.25 oz)

A minimum kit and pharmacy equipped to deal with wilderness medical emergencies: asthma, allergy / severe allergic reaction, diabetic with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), not breathing, and chest pain. This kit augments a Level I / Level II First-Aid Kit. This kit is not meant to be the all-in-one answer recognizing that capabilities and expectations change depending upon prevailing conditions and the situation at hand. However, in a remote setting, this kit will provide some very welcome options.

If you are the medical sheep dog in your group, you know, the guy who always seems to be the one answering the call for medical assistance or kneeling at the side of an injured companion, then you likely already have an interest in both the gear and training necessary for your role. Some sources for training include American Red Cross, First Responder, EMT, and wilderness medical training courses.

    Send Jared to EMS training . . .

    however, I’m good to go to be thrown in your pack . . .

    it would be an honor to hang out with you guys for some adventurous activities!

    okay, this is …
    okay, this is getting carried away…
    It will be much easier for me to throw you in a pack and cart you around with me!
    I am going to send Jared to EMS training this Spring as an alternative to you being there.

    could you explain …
    could you explain the combination of bendryl with the Pepsid or Zantac – not sure what you were talking about – did you say “age” level 1 or 2 or “H” level 1 or 2 – and what the heck is it?

    Thanks!!!!
    Thanks!!!!

    Try Charlie at …
    Try Charlie at Mountain View Safe Company at 503-706-7347. Of course, tell him Cody from Wranglerbarn sent you!

  7. USNERDOC says:

    Billyboler – Good …
    Billyboler – Good point and well stated. As I mentioned, these are prescriptions. There are physicians that are outdoor oriented that will write prescriptions for these medications labeled “for expedition use”. That will be up to the individual physician. I do know docs that have done this so I know this is not out of the realm of reality or far fetched.

    Please also remember the stated limitations . . . a remote environment where this is the only solution.

    I can email Cody re the Safe Guy.

    I also concur.
    I also concur.

    ALBUTEROL INHALER / …
    ALBUTEROL INHALER / SPACER, Epi-pen,prenisone are all Rx items how do you get a doc to give you rx for meds you don’t take? Great Vids, P.s. you didn’t have the phone number for the Charlie the Safe guy from Wrangler Barn? Thanks

  10. USNERDOC says:

    You are welcome!
    You are welcome!

  11. USNERDOC says:

    EpiPens are …
    EpiPens are expensive . . . I don’t have any special secrets. The one I have I had a physician write a script when I was in the Navy . . . haven’t needed it despite carrying it everywhere!

  12. USNERDOC says:

    Prednisone does …
    Prednisone does require a prescription. A 5 day course (5 tabs) would be something to talk to your family physician about. They will usually consider this if they know you well and are outdoor orientated. The prescription is usually labeled “for expedition use”. Hope that helps!

  13. USNERDOC says:

    Thank you sir!
    Thank you sir!

    Good information about the Pepcid and benadryl. One question, doesn’t prednisone require a prescription?

  17. HawaiiIceMan says:

    I have a question …
    I have a question Doc. For the Epipens, they are expensive if you buy them over the internet. You have any alternatives or secret handshakes to get Epipens for a cheaper price?
